The new smaller vehicle promises to be the company's most fuel-efficient sportscar thanks to its "super-compact, flexible and EU6-compliant engine". As we already mentioned, the yet unnamed model is part of the automaker's 40th anniversary.

“As we celebrate our 40th anniversary at Caterham, it feels good to be taking the brand right back to where it started. Colin Chapman designed the original Seven to be entirely ‘fit-for-purpose’ – a racing car for the road with the driving experience at its heart. With that in mind, the new entry-level Seven will be uncomplicated, easy to run and, most important of all, an intuitive and exciting drive,” said Caterham CEO Graham Macdonald.

The super-lightweight Seven was designed by Colin Chapman and built by Lotus from 1957 through 1972. Starting 1973, Caterham bought the rights to the design and sold the vehicle in several version to this day.
